There's also a video of her going fishing and shrimp-catching, while barbecuing by the river. In the end, she gets chased around by her dad, and you can tell it wasn't pre-planned. It was a one-shot, and she ran so fast that even the auto-follow camera couldn't keep up with her.
After watching the two videos, Ji Li tapped on the shopping interface and placed two orders – one box of fruit and one box of vegetables – as a form of support for the farmers.
Ji Heng had already sent away all the girls and closed the school clinic's door, pretending to casually pick up the test form. "Bro, that girl just now didn't harass you, did she?"
"Why do you think she would harass me?" Ji Li drawled, "That girl isn't like that; she really just came for the test."
Ji Heng was skeptical and took a serious look at the test form. "Did these data come out wrong?" Her reaction time was terrifyingly fast, her lung capacity was three times his, her muscle strength and endurance were also high, and the blood sample feedback was perfect and very healthy.
Ji Heng speculated, "New student from the Mecha Department?"
"From the Agricultural Research Institute," Ji Li replied, having glanced at the student card while she was doing the test.
Ji Heng twitched his mouth. With stats like these, why study at the Agricultural Research Institute? She should join the Mecha Department, and she'd be pampered by all the tutors in no time.
He no longer doubted Su Xiaocai; if she tried anything funny, his brother wouldn't be able to resist.
...
On the way back to the dorm, Su Xiaocai's nose started itching, and she sneezed several times in a row.
She figured maybe Daddy Su was thinking about her.
Back to the matter of being slandered, Su Xiaocai was never a saint. Faced with life or morals, she would choose life.
For the sake of her life, it seems like she should apply for the mechanical arm patent ahead of time. Getting her name out in both military and political circles would be safer with some notoriety.
Just as she opened the dormitory door, Wu Qingqing pounced on her, "Caicai, are you mad?"
Wu Qingqing had been anxious for a few hours.
Ultimately, she chose Su Xiaocai, because Su Xiaocai promised she could beat her cousin, whereas the Non-human Research Institute wasn't a sure bet.
Her family was wealthy and well-informed; she knew that people coming out of the Non-human Research Institute, some had personality changes, others were physically weaker. There were too few success stories.
It's not like she had no other options. If nothing came of it in two years, she could always go into business.
Plenty of people around the world were working in jobs they disliked; she could do the same, but she was just worried about ruining the family fortune.
Besides, she had two years to give it her all. Su Xiaocai was so skilled, even if she couldn't help her catch up with her cousin, she'd definitely improve her skills somewhat.
"I'm not mad, why would I be?" Su Xiaocai genuinely didn't mind. Just growing vegetables was kind of dull, so helping her roommate wasn't a bad idea either.
"Glad you're not mad." Wu Qingqing told Su Xiaocai about her decision, hoping to get her help.
"Are you sure? You can't regret this; you better think it over carefully." Su Xiaocai didn't want Wu Qingqing to give up and then bear a grudge.
"I won't regret it." Wu Qingqing even drafted an agreement full of terms beneficial to Su Xiaocai. If she could beat her cousin in the end, she'd unconditionally give Su Xiaocai a villa in the center of Capital Star.
The offer on the agreement was too tempting for Su Xiaocai. Rich people's generosity was on another level; a villa on Capital Star – she couldn't even count how many zeros were in front of the decimal point.
Su Xiaocai declined, "Forget the property on Capital Star, you can exchange it for some plant seeds and minerals of equivalent value, and I'd be very interested."
There were lots of plant seeds that Su Xiaocai couldn't find or buy.
Wu Qingqing's family was different, since their businesses were spread across various Star Zones, their access to information and collection abilities way surpassed ordinary people.
Holding the list of needed items that Su Xiaocai handed over, Wu Qingqing mused over how to find these things. Some plants didn't even have pictures, only descriptions of their appearance, and most she'd never even heard of.
"You really love farming, huh."
"Yeah, I love it a lot." Su Xiaocai saw Wu Qingqing confirm her decision to help train her. "Do you have videos of your matches against your cousin? I need both prior and today's footage. I need to understand both of you better."
Of course, Wu Qingqing had the recordings; she studied them over and over after each match.
Su Xiaocai said, "Send them to me. I'll watch them in my room; give me two days."
Wu Qingqing immediately sent over the videos.
Then Su Xiaocai shut herself in the bedroom, planning for Wu Qingqing while also copying some data on the mechanical arm to draft a technical disclosure document. She also remembered to search for any similar existing patents.
Once this was done, she still needed to hand it over to the professionals.
Su Xiaocai didn't trust others, and she didn't have any friends who could help, so she called Daddy Su.
